Atlanta Hawks vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, and Spreads- December 9

The Atlanta Hawks take their 1st place record on the road to the Barclays Center to face the Brooklyn Nets. Trae Young appears to be ready to play for Atlanta. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for his backcourt running mate Dejounte Murray. Murray sustained an ankle injury in their last outing, and the dynamic guard will miss a few weeks of action. Dejounte Murray played like an NBA All-Star/ His absence is a big deal for the Hawks. As always, we know with the Brooklyn Nets, we are dealing with the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving show. Will Atlanta keep their winning ways going on the road, or will Brooklyn prevail at home?

The Hawks face off with the Brooklyn Nets in a game carrying plenty of playoff implications for the Eastern Conference. The Brooklyn Nets have found their footing and find themselves in 2nd place in the Atlantic Division. Atlanta has had balance all season and have caused plenty of problems for the opposition. Trae Young is a match-up nightmare for the Nets. Even without Dejounte Murray, the Hawks will make this a dogfight. Take Atlanta to cover on the road.
